Looks like you are getting to see the whole country! I can see my old neighbourhood in the Lyttelton shot, and even where I was born in Christchurch...
That airfield is Wigram, which was dismantled a few years ago, and is now a housing development.
I can normally tell Christchurch screenshots if I can see Hagley Park, but it doesn't show up in the default scenery. Well, if I see Hagley Park, I know it is either Christchurch or the City of Pawnee.
Keep up the good work!

Toprob,

Thanks for kind words.

Yeah mostly South Island but I have NOT yet explore whatever is north of Auckland! Do not know if there are any airports further north in North Island capable of handling airline jets.

Glad that you can see those in my screenshots!

That explains why I cannot find in hundreds of maps while trying to research for name of the airport!! Thanks for identifying the name of the airport.

Once again, thanks for kind words.
